The Man I'll Become
It doesn’t tell you who to become.
It walks with you while you discover it.
A personal growth journey designed for boys aged 12 to 16. A book, a journal, and an app to move through change without rushing, without judgment, without pressure.
Growing up is not a race.
It’s not a checklist of goals to achieve.
It’s a time to live in.
The Man I’ll Become was created to offer a safe space to pause, observe, and return when you’re ready.

Growing up today has become complicated
Today’s boys don’t lack information.
They don’t lack stimulation.
They don’t lack opportunities.
Often, they lack space.
Spaces where:
- they don’t have to prove anything
- they are not judged
- they don’t have to choose right away
- they can pause without feeling behind
Growth has become loud.
Full of expectations, comparisons, results.
The Man I’ll Become was created to make space.
Not to tell them what to do.
Not to push.
But to walk alongside them.
WHO IT’S FOR
It is designed for:
Boys aged 12 to 16 who are going through a time of change.
Who are noticing new questions.
Who are in no rush to find answers.
It is suitable for those who:
- do not relate to loud, imposed models
- don’t like being pushed
- need time
- want a space free from judgment
It is also designed for parents and educators looking for an educational project that is:
- non-invasive
- non-performance-driven
- respectful of individual timing
WHO IT’S NOT FOR
It’s not suitable if you’re looking for:
- a motivational course
- a method to achieve fast results
- weekly goals to hit
- a system of rewards or rankings
- someone to tell you what to do
- an immediate solution
The Man I’ll Become does not speed things up.
It walks alongside time.
Not everyone needs to be pushed.
Some people just need space.
A journey that respects time
Growth doesn’t happen all at once.
It doesn’t follow a straight line.
It doesn’t answer to deadlines.
That’s why The Man I’ll Become is designed as a 52-week journey.
A full year — not to change, but to move through.
Each week offers:
- a small practice
- a reflection
- a moment of listening
- an invitation to act in real life
Nothing is mandatory.
Nothing needs to be made up.
If you pause, the journey stays there.
There are no lost weeks, there is no “falling behind.”
Time is not an enemy, it is part of the journey.
You don’t have to do everything, you have to do something.
Every small action leaves a seed that, over time, will bear fruit.
Three tools. One journey.
The book
The beginning
The book opens the journey.
It doesn’t offer definitive answers, but questions to carry with you.
It is designed for boys aged 12 to 16,
but it is also read by many adults,
because it speaks to anyone who is going through — or remembering — a time of change.
It can be read in order.
Or opened at random.
Without rushing.
The journal
A personal space
The journal is a space that belongs only to the person using it.
It’s for writing, drawing, holding thoughts.
It doesn’t need to be shown.
It doesn’t need to be shared.
It doesn’t need to be “done well.”
It’s the place where words can remain imperfect.
And true.
The app
Continuity over time
The app accompanies the journey over time.
It offers a 52-week path made of small practices, listening moments, and reflections.
It is accessible from ages 14 to 19, to ensure autonomy and safe use.
It doesn’t ask to be used every day.
It doesn’t send notifications to push.
It remains available, when needed.
A book to help young people understand who they are
The Man I’ll Become is a personal growth book told through a narrative, created to accompany adolescents at the moment when they begin to question who they are and who they want to become.
The protagonist, Leo, is a fourteen-year-old boy who feels he is growing up without a map. School, adult expectations, comparison with others, and shifting emotions lead him to face a simple yet powerful question: who am I, really?
From this question begins a journey that is not made of physical movement, but of inner encounters. Leo meets symbolic figures — mentors, adults, quiet guides — who do not offer ready-made answers, but help him pause, listen to himself, and look at who he is with greater honesty. Each encounter touches on a core theme of adolescence: identity, emotions, the body, friendship, family, respect, love, and spirituality.
The book weaves storytelling with reflection. At the end of each chapter, readers find questions, writing exercises, and open spaces to fill in, turning reading into a personal experience. It is not a manual that tells readers what to do, but a companion that invites self-discovery, without judgment and without haste.
The Man I’ll Become speaks to young readers with a simple, authentic voice, while offering adults a genuine window into what many adolescents struggle to express. It does not promise quick solutions, but offers something deeper: time, listening, and guidance.
At its heart, it is the story of a boy who learns an essential truth: becoming an adult does not mean having all the answers, but learning to ask the right questions and staying true to yourself as you grow.
A quiet guide
Every journey needs a presence.
Not someone who points the way,
but someone who knows how to walk alongside.
The Visionmaker is not a mentor.
Not a coach.
Not a model to imitate.
It is an essential voice,
one that accompanies without intruding.
It doesn’t give ready-made answers.
It doesn’t make decisions in place of the reader.
It leaves room for time, mistakes, and experience.
Its role is not to lead.
It is to remain.
Sometimes, growing up simply means
knowing you are not alone.
The role of adults
The Man I’ll Become was not created to replace parents, educators, or teachers.
It was created to stand beside them.
It doesn’t step in to explain what to say.
It doesn’t step in to correct.
It doesn’t step in to speed things up.
It offers a space that, in everyday life, is often hard to protect.
Many adults read the book before, or together with, the boys.
Not to teach but to listen.
Because some questions are not meant to guide.
They are meant to be there.
This journey:
- does not invade family dialogue
- does not ask for control
- does not require constant supervision
It works when the adult remains a presence, not a director.
Accompanying doesn’t mean showing the way.
It means walking alongside, when needed.
